Environmental Assessment Overview

The Process

 

 

 

Preliminary Environmental Assessment Work

A Scoping Report has been prepared by independent consultants, Entec UK Ltd, as part of an Environmental Appraisal (EA), which will consider the potential continuing environmental effects from activities associated with current and future military training on Dartmoor Training Area (DTA). The Appraisal will be based on the premise of no significant increase in levels of military activity or change to the number of live firing days currently (2006) permitted.

The majority of DTA is operated under licence from the Duchy of Cornwall. The present licence expires in 2012 and prior to its renewal the Secretary of State for Defence requires confirmation that there is a military need for its retention and that if it is to be retained, how this may best be achieved.
